So you want to be in a Harry Potter movie? Well now you can. JK Rowling will create extra roles in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to raise cash for multiple sclerosis.

Two walk-on roles in the film are the star lots of an auction to be held at a £175-a-head gala dinner in Edinburgh next month. Rowling will be guest of honour at the dinner in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland, of which she is patron.

Rowling said:

"Being able to campaign and fund-raise for MS is the most personally meaningful thing to have come out of being famous. It would mean everything to me if I thought even one person did not have to go through what my mother did."

As well as the roles in Goblet, which starts filming in April, bidders will have the chance to buy a full-size replica of Dobby the House Elf or tickets to next year's premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in London.
